Trans-cyclooctene (TCO) is one of the most used cycloalkenes for bioconjugation tasks. TCO readily reacts with tetrazines via inverse electron-demand Diels-Alder cycloaddition (IEDDA). TCO-Tetrazine ligation possesses ultrafast kinetics, selectivity, and long-term aqueous stability, which is important in low-concentration applications such as protein-protein conjugations, etc.

This TCO is a AF 488-containing derivative. AF 488 is sulfonated rhodamine, a bright, photostable, and hydrophilic fluorophore that emits in the green channel. The absorption maximum is 495 nm. The emission maximum is 519 nm.
